Put a password on a Markdown or HTML page so only the people you give it to can open the link — useful for client work, drafts, and anything you would rather not leave fully public.
Create it, then add a password on a paid plan.
A normal share link is open: anyone who has the URL can open the page. Most of the time that is exactly what you want, but not when the page is a client deliverable, an internal draft, or a document you would rather not have forwarded around. Password protection adds a gate: the link still works, but opening it asks for a password first, and the content does not load until the right one is entered. You share the link the usual way and pass the password through a separate channel, so a forwarded URL on its own does not expose the page. Password protection is a paid feature; the page itself is still just Markdown or HTML you paste.
A freelance consultant finishes a strategy memo for a client and wants to send it as a clean web page rather than a Word file. The catch: the memo names figures the client would not want floating around on an open URL. The consultant pastes the Markdown into dochost, creates the page, and sets a password on it. They email the link — “Your memo is here” — and send the password in a separate text. The client opens the link, enters the password once, and reads a tidy, branded page on any device. If the email is later forwarded, the link alone is useless without the password. When the engagement ends, the consultant removes the page from their dashboard. The deliverable looked professional, stayed private, and never required the client to download a file.
